Subject: RE: BS: Explaining the Unexplained
But it's not like "expecting" something...

Like, I could expect my friend to call me because he said he would... and maybe I know that something's happened and he can't call me, and I find out later that what I knew had happened, actually happened, and it was that exact reason why he didn't call me... (This is just an example.)

Oh, I give up. It's like trying to explain harmony to the tone deaf.
I just don't have the tools to explain it.

There is a certainty in the knowing that seems almost insane, except that what you know is going to happen, comes true.

You can tell people or not. You can wish that it wouldn't happen, or wish that it would. It still happens the way you know it will, when you know.

It's a lot easier to think that I know things sometimes, than it is to think that somehow, I am pulling strings I can't even see, and rearranging the universe around me, to make something happen, that I don't even necessarily want to have happen.

I don't know everything. I don't think I would want to know everything. I have known things about people, that it really scared me to know. Things about people that aren't even in the room for me to read their body language. Things that I wouldn't have made up, because I don't think that way. And these things were true.

I can't explain it...
hesperis, who is getting very frustrated. ARRRGH!
